Game off

I've just visited Game - you know, the videogame shop with its own "unique" smell. Haven't been for a while and one thing struck me - and it wasn't just the eau d'teenage boy. There was a large in-store presence for the iPod. Now I know it's a tough retail environment at the moment, but the focus on non-gaming products, plus the fact that every game seemed to be on special offer, suggests that the traditional summer drought is worse than ever. The PSP/Christmas blockbusters can't come soon enough. Or does everyone just buy off the web these days?
